KU Department Changes Name
The Kansas Board of Regents has authorized that the name of the KU Department of physical education be changed to the department of physical education and recreation.
This change is the result of the addition to the department of a recreation consultant, recreation service, and a minor in recreation in course work. The Kansas Recreation Service, established in 1953 to serve the entire state, has its headquarters at KU. The Service is headed by Larry Heeb, recreation consultant and instructor in physical education.
Weather
Partly cloudy this afternoon tonight and Thursday. Warmer west and north portions this afternoon and night and over the state Thursday. Low tonight in 50s. High Thursday 85 southwest to near 80 east portion.
Entitled "The Alphabet and the Organization of Knowledge," Dr. Dow's address will deal with a new field in historical research—the story of how man developed systems of organizing, arranging, and cataloging the vast accumulation of human knowledge through the centuries. The explanation, says Dr. Dow, "has never been made public, in print or lecture."
The Harvard scholar, who has spent five years in Greece excavating and working on ancient inscriptions, will also speak at an open meeting at 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Pine Room of the Student Union. His topic will be "The Ship, the Voyage, and the Shipwreck of St. Paul."
This program, open to anybody who is interested, is being arranged by a University group interested in forming a KU chapter of the Archaeological Institute of America, of which Dr. Dow is honorary president and of which he was active president in 1946-48.
During his three-day visit on the campus, Dr. Dow will meet with several classes in history, Greek, and religion, and will speak on "St. Paul in Athens" to the Westminister Fellowship group on Sunday evening.
Dr. Dow is a member of the advisory board of the Guggenheim Foundation, was editor of the Bulletin of Archaeology for two years, and is advisory editor of the American Journal of Archaeology and of Archaeology Magazine.
During World War II he served with the Office of Strategic Services, dealing with Greece, and he was war archivist at Harvard. He has served as trustee of the American Schools of Oriental Research, the School of American Research at Santa Fe, the American Research Center in Egypt, and the Byzantine Institute at Radcliffe College.
He received the B. A., M. A., and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard, was Fiske Scholar at Trinity College in England, and trained five years in Greece. He joined the Harvard faculty in 1936, teaching history and Greek, and was made professor of archaeology in 1949.

ARE YOU A SHUTTERBUG?

It sounds rather strange doesn't it? And except for the far-sightedness of an early settler you might be living in "Hip Deep on the Kaw" or at least in its Indian counterpart, Wakarusa.
"Hip Deep, Kansas, home of the state university."
In 1854 the emerging town on the banks of the Kaw needed a name. From the top of Mount Oread (which itself had been named in memory of Mount Oread Seminary in Worchester, Mass.) a small stream could be seen to the south of the town. From an Indian the
Named Wakarusa
people learned the name of the stream was Wau-ka-ru-sa. They liked the sound of the word and through an unofficial decision the town was named Wakarusa and the community's earliest paper bore the dateline: "Wakarusa, Kansas Territory, Oct. 21, 1854."
This name soon disappeared, however, when the settlers discovered how the Wakarusa River was named. A legend told of an Indian girl who crossed the river on horseback. She became half-immersed in the water and yelled "Wau-karu-sa." After learning the legend of the name the settlers decided

against calling their town Hip (or
Rump) Deep.
The present name of Lawrence was given to the town in honor of Amos A. Lawrence of Boston, who was one of three trustees of the New England Emigrant Aid Company. He supported this company, whose job it was to promote emigration to Kansas by people who opposed slavery.
The new town also bore the names "Yankee Town" in defiance of the belligerence shown across the Missouri border and "New Boston" by a homesick easterner.
Yankee Homers Kuck's 3-Hitter Bury Brooklyn
BROOKLYN, — (UP) — The New York Yankees crushed the the Brooklyn Dodgers 9 to 0 under a barrage of four home runs today to win the World Series behind the brilliant three hit pitching of young Johnny Kucks. It was the most humiliating seventh game defeat in series competition since 1834 when the Cardinals routed the Tigers, 11-0.
Thus the Yankees won their seventh Series flag in the past 10 years and gave manager Casey Stengel his sixth series triumph in seven tries.
Yogi Berra hit consecutive two-run homers off big Don New-Combe in the first and third innings to put the Yankees in front 4 to 0 and when Elston Howard tagged the big righthander for another in the fourth, it gave the Yankees a 5 to 0 lead.
It also was the end of Newcombe his fifth World Series failure.
But the big blow was yet to come. It came in the seventh, when with the bases loaded and none out, Skowron drove one into the left field stands.
It came off Roger Craig, the third Dodger pitcher, and was the second grand slammer of the Series—the first time two ever have been hit in the classic.
It also was the 12th home run of the Series for the Yankees—two more than ever have been hit before. The Yankees had 10 back in 1952.
Berra's homers came with two out. One went just inside the right field scoreboard to give Berra a total of 10 runs batted in in the Series. This also is another series record.

Yankees ... 9 10 0
Dodgers ... 0 3 1
Winning Pitcher—Kucks.
Losing pitcher—Newcombe.
